[negotiate]
lives under teeth not prime just
in position here as the
kerosene winds blow in change - through holes where education was just a
cable un-plugged via-work [oh no!they know!they know!i know!they know!lay low!]
ascribeamidstthelions whocan negotiate livesunderteeth with rhetoric sweetlike
poison
see how it eats into stone likedisease! explained once by a master byhishandyouwere
sent to confess.explainthis to our maker-make sure and turnaround it’s
pride.
swallowedby lies? cause in here accusationsfoldinto swallowed-up lines.
silentthought of war, provoke a cause andspeak no more. stars andstrikes abroad,
assimilate an inquisition’s fraud. silent thought of war, provoke a cause
and speak no more. |

lb. doubt is
coursing through the vein of a conversation. mix static
with it’s
wires! the interpretation comesquiet across time, singing decibals down from
a whisper
[this!]doorway is leading us out over theocean oh what terrible traps we weave
when awake and under the guise of reality’s face. it’s a shade shy
of real grey, with it’s
twelve poundlooklike a penchant for the grave...est mistake your’re afraid
to face. in a
breath [so loud] it’ll bear this love.
• • • •light
is coursing through the weight of accusing faces that fired
from behind
between bothblades where i shoulder this pain.[cut]. the wings are falling off
the aeroplane.
in pairs they trail towards earth.our parachutes fold into openflames
that share the night’s glory. our parachutes fold into open flames. |

blackout [and bride] where
do those ideas
come from? well you’ve been drinking again, sometimes whenever you can.
escaping can lead to another story to write/another story to ruin. dialogue
is collapsing ahhhhh...you better tie us down. just leave onehand un-bound -
a ciggarette for the fool? swing too deep, you might never wake up! slow-motion
hallucinations, you’re caught closing your mind witholding prayers from
the sky.
box wine can lead us - this armyiskilling every t.v., dragging nails offt hescreen.
swing too deep, you might never wake up. it’s all blacknow.where’s
yourhead?
it spun around. it’s all black now. |

frame
to frame rewind
your thoughts to our shadowed march through
broken frames of coveted lust. like the storms above we moved along. all the
clearest days seem forever on our trail, propelling change to a later state.
the patience that promised fair warning is gathering unsuspected pressure.
we moved as two, with zero stepszero clues on how to re-arrange the ghosts
in me/theghosts in you. in the final cut-off my headwillroll this heavy
life.
will the pain and sorrow in this end be one? as you’re drawing me in/as
you’re
drawing out. interrupted. the questions remain engraved in his head on every
side.
interrupted. the questions remain inscribed in his head from every side;
are these thoughts,like these scars? just reflections of regret,and the death
of affection? |

dear for twenty-some-odd years we’ve simmered here
slamming doors and thinking more iiiii won’t pretend greywhiskered gentlemen
whisper “then’s” and then i feel at home...i feel old
theywon’t let the children in only crackled photos and then i’mgone
shame on the vacant things. shame on the vacant things. |

the
internal alarm of a pushover by
tearing off one face
at a time can you quater the soul obsessed with the speed of decay? you better
figure out
soon who’s on your back. aligned with a devilish-truth so your friends
don’t
confuse
the tongue-tied wretch o f a guise with the ’i’s in suicide. your
speech
slows.
when it rolls out infront it’s the intent that’s gone. when these
words
diagnose the
symptom of life, stop calling heaven to return home. this is home. maybe
you’ll sleep
only to wake upon it’s return and give in. adorned like a hollywoodkid
- in
your
saltiest skin. tear. tear. |

lineage the
car sped when we used to say we want the song to end
in
the driveway and on the spot -->a brand new clock and the moment was perfect
foratime10987654321 these stories crave a more dYnaMic boy. they were so
strung.
with beauty frozen stand in motion minnesota. it cameout of the rye awaiting
a surprise
now chivalry is killing me i’m commenderingmine from these bad phantoms
from
a
random kingdom. it’s better in the morning when your hope is strong. if
we
had to
we could fake it and take the off and turnthem on. you can’t turn them
it’s
on. it’s sacred
when you make it when your hope is gone. forever gets better when all that you
expect
to love iswrong you can’t turn them_it’s on |
